Default Clayed & Waxed: Pics within

Finally got around to claying and waxing the car today. Spent a total of about 4.5hrs doing so. I used Mothers California Gold clay bar, quick detail and wax kit. I was very impressed with the results. I also used theirUltimate Billet wheel polish and am going to stick with it for sure. Their billet polish works great!! Let me know what you think

RobThe Hogg: Great pics!

Clay bar is like silly putty, but when used properly, it helps remove some of the dirt and crud off your car's paint. If you've ever run your hand over your car when it's freshly washed and it felt gritty, a clay bar will help remove that. It pulls all the embedded dirt from your paint.

OMG that car looks hideous.




























that is one of the best looking red T/A's I've ever seen. She looks like she just rolled off the line!

It was all done by hand. I have a history of burning paint, so I do it all by hand. WAX ON WAX OFF!!
